i think you have entered your numbers onto your sim then also selected to use google contacts. this would result in you having the contacts twice, once for theyre email(google) and once for theyre actual numbers (sim contacts)

the way i fixed this was to select only use google contacts then i manualy entered the phone number to each contact, you really should because you get more options in google contacts view from the simcard contacts view, like storing email address aim-name,msn nickname and so on...also face book status gets auto-posted to each contact.....cool eh?

if you cant resolve this post here again and ill explain in more details, good luck

also when your next connected to a wifi, click the sync button and leave it for a while when you come back a while later it will have added all your facebook friends-with current profile pictures next to theyre names.you can then add phone numbers or the ones you know.

You seem to know your stuff when it comes to this phone, and thanks for the help. Before i got reading your message i reset the factory settings then selected contacts from SIM, but i like the idea of getting facebook status from contacts!

the phone probably shows both the contacts on your sim card and the contacts on your phone, so you have to hide the sim card contacts after you import them . if you sync your contacts with facebook and you get duplicates because they're also in your phone contacts, you can just "join" these contacts so you don't have to manually add the phone numbers.

to enable swype, go to settings->languages&keyboard or sth like that and check the swype tickbox, then also in the keyboard settings select input method->swype

Can I just ask how you hide the sim contacts after imported to phone contacts?

I have a few duplicates due to wanting more contact info and pics added to their names but these people arnt on my facebook syncs so cant join. Be nice to know how I can hide them though.

All info is good but unfortunately to keep facebook synced with contacts you must be connected to facebook at all times..(atleast mine does, cuz if i sign out contacts disappear).

I cannot be connected to facebook at all times as i have no wi-fi at home and poor signal..therefore only use facebook when on the go..SIM contacts will do for me..

1. Here's a question..I have my SIM contacts on fone, can i take their facebook profile pic and add to contacts??

2.Also how to i save/move apps that i have downloaded to my SD card instead of them taking up valuable space on my fone?

3. And sometimes when i go to open photos videos etc it says i don't have enough memory so i should delete some items, only noticed this today, when fone battery was less than 15%, is the battery to blame??

? wierd my contacts stay the same with pics and most recent status updates (when i click sync) they dont change when i log out of facebook, i use flow for facebook anyway i dont sign in with the social hub i only ever clicked sync once and they stayed there and only update when i click sync .

1. thats what i mean all my contacts pics on my phone are theyre profile pictures from facebook its all done with google sync,

2.use apps to sd, also search for the adb save to sd code, when u use it once in cmd, from then all your apps are automatically saved to sd, you wont have to bother moving them.

3. erm...have you checked to see how much internal memory who have? the cam wont work if the battery is too low, but it shouldnt say anything about memory unless you are running out of it, check with kies/program monitor widget and let me know.

My girlfriend had this problem also. U need to go into your contacts directly (not in txt messaging) and set it to display only your sim contacts. If you then delete all your contacts from the sim, then set it to display phone contacts, that should sort the problem with the messaging! Hope that helps.
